Different flavors of rightwing baggery. Corin Nemec was always a conspiracy theory nutjob (which was reportedly why he was difficult to work with on set and partially led to the producers asking Michael Shanks back to replace him), and it got publicly worse after COVID. Richard Ayoade made a number of anti-trans statements, or showed support for someone who was known for that.
Thanks for the link. Definitely disappointing. Could be worse. I would not offer Linehan unconditional support of any sort. It would always be on the condition of pointing out he’s a terf bigot. I can technically agree that Linehan is a good writer. I’ve enjoyed a lot of the things he’s written in the past. But I could care less what he’s currently doing or will be doing. As long as he continues to chose to be a bigot. And I definitely expected better of Ayoade. I’m guessing he feels bad that Linehan ruined his future career prospects. And is trying to help? This ain’t the way to help.
